"Thank you, Tom, for your brilliant retreat planning and facilitation that enabled such thoughtful deliberations, exhilarating engagement, punctuated by laughter and deep reflection. Your permission to use red pens and your deliberate approach to surface ideas and perspectives, not force agreement, served us well. This enabled agreement to be arrived at naturally through thoughtful exchange. I left buoyed by it all and cannot wait to continue this work with your leadership and support."

"Tom did a remarkable job of getting the information and summarizing it. He is to be commended for organizing such thoughts and helping us realize what we should do as we now move forward. Tom was always so patient, kind and understanding of us, and we sincerely appreciated his efforts and gentle ways of nudging us to realize what we are up against in the months to come. Thank you so much to Tom, from the bottom of my heart. Tom has been an absolute lifesaver for The Friends of Algonquin Park."
